The Glenn Group Contributes To Various Organizations Throughout 2012

RENO, Nev. – The Glenn Group, a Nevada-based advertising, interactive and public relations agency, contributed over half of a million dollars in monetary donations and volunteer hours to various charities and organizations in 2012, including The Smith Center, Renown Children’s Hospital, Nevada Museum of Art and Junior Achievement of Las Vegas. The end of the year concluded with a “good [for goodness sake]” holiday fundraiser, raising over $1,000 and amounting to a total of 4,000 meals. Contributions collected during the benefit on Dec. 19, 2012 were donated to statewide food banks: the Food Bank of Northern Nevada and Three Square Food Bank.

“Here at the Food Bank of Northern Nevada we always appreciate The Glenn Group’s partnership and support year after year, and this donation is extra special. We are deeply touched by the community’s generosity and kindness,” said Food Bank of Northern Nevada president and CEO, Cherie Jamason.

The “good [for goodness sake]” fundraiser allowed people the chance to get a fun, custom illustrated holiday greeting by The Glenn Group’s very own graphic artist Diego Sabogal, in exchange for a small donation. Participants were able to watch Sabogal as he designed the personalized cards throughout the day via a live stream video.

“Year after year we strive to do something big for our holiday greeting, while also doing a little bit of good,” said Valerie Glenn, owner of The Glenn Group. “With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, people are often scrambling to send out their holiday cards. So we thought what better way than to offer custom designed holiday cards, all while benefitting a great cause?”

As a result of the one-day fundraiser, Sabogal created over 20 illustrations. To view the custom illustrations, please visit http://pinterest.com/theglenngroup/be-good-for-goodness-sake/.

The Food Bank of Northern Nevada (FBNN) provides food to organizations feeding the poor and hungry in the northern Nevada and California Sierra area. For every $1 donated, FBNN can provide 4 meals. Three Square, another Nevada food bank, is southern Nevada’s only food bank providing food assistance to the residents of Lincoln, Nye, Esmeralda and Clark Counties.
